Here we have a lovely ‘eye catching’ Grade II listed period cottage of generous proportions boasting a wealth of glorious features. With obvious kerb appeal and a wonderful mature garden, the full length of which shares a single bank of Nine Mile River, 22 Water Street Lane is a ‘must view’ for any discerning buyer in search of a characterful home and an enviable if not unique environment.
The original cottage is understood to date as far back as the mid 1600’s with a later single storey kitchen extension and a more recent conversion of the garage to create a third bedroom, workspace, or guest suite; there is an adjoining en suite shower room. The latest addition to the property is a wonderful solid oak and glass vaulted vestibule which feels as though you are in the garden as you enter and walk through.
There is no doubt that the current owners have demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity to the period and charm of the cottage and have clearly maintained the property to a high standard which will be evident to all who view.
The interior is spacious and comfortable with, on the ground floor, a lovely entrance, a cosy sitting room with fireplace and log burning stove fuelled by mains gas, a well equipped ‘farmhouse style’ kitchen, separate dining room and, as previously stated, a multifunctional annexe. Off the first floor landing is the principal bedroom with a range of bespoke wardrobes and drawer units, a large single bedroom, and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom.
Vehicle access is of Old Coach Road; 22 Water Street Lane is approached via a sweeping gravelled drive with parking and turning. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn bordered by mature shrubs, rose, and flower beds. The rear garden is a real feature of the cottage with a large swath of lawn and a great number of mature specimen trees and shrubs. There is a large sunny patio/terrace, a detached summerhouse located at the end of the garden with views back across the garden to the rear of the cottage.
